sorry, that's just a pathetic excuse: you can help improve the article without editing any quotes.
And in fact, if you feel so strongly about the quality of that article (or any other similar wiki article), you could even start a new article from scratch, without using any "quotes" at all; articles like these exist because of people like you who are sufficiently offended by the lack of quality of such articles, but not sufficiently motivated to do something about that, despite suggesting that they can do so (often much less politely than you did...) - which unfortunately applies even to many developers whose developments are basically undocumented.
Frankly, you make it sound like it's a chicken and egg problem, whereas you -or any other contributor disagreeing with quote-based articles, could create new/alternate articles without having to touch any of those articles, let alone having read them necessarily.
Looking at the devel list archives, you were among the top 5 users participating in the discussion of Qt5/launcher related topics on the devel list, which would put you in an excellent position to preserve your knowledge/findings for others wanting to know what you know - obviously, it's your call not to share your expertise with others, but please don't make a fuss about others trying at least to document otherwise undocumented features ...
If you don't like the article in its current form, I am volunteering to delete the article entirely, and replace it with whatever you can come up with. Let me know if that sounds appealing to you
